Had my “A” event a couple of weeks ago – a 60 mile road race in Northern Michigan with 3000+ feet of climbing in the form of short, but steep, hills. Many of them…
I finished 13th overall out of 121, and 3rd in my age group (40-49) - this is easily my best result in this race, and I was super pumped 
Last year I finished 58th overall and 21st in my age group in the same event…
It’s hard to reorient myself around a new goal right now because I was just so thrilled with the result here – but I’ll regroup and figure some other trivial milestone to hit.
This marks my 1 year anniversary with TrainerRoad. I signed up immediately after the 2018 version of this race. As a masters athlete, my experience with TR has been two-steps-forward/one-step-back. But overall, it has changed my training, my fitness, my knowledge base, and now…my results.
My goal for the next year it to find a way to cross the finish line first in a race…probably won’t be my “A” event, but there’s gotta be one out there that a racer with a ~300 FTP and 4W/kg can manage to win. We’ll see!
Good luck to all of you!
